The Best Of Both Worlds

An Area Of Beauty

Burley in Wharfedale presents the best of both worlds, beautifully blending village life in an enviable and rural location with exceptional access to the best of what Yorkshire has to offer. There are many outdoor opportunities for walking, cycling and generally enjoying the beautiful Wharfe valley’s countryside. With walks on the doorstep, the River Wharfe stepping stones at Leather Bank cross to Askwith, Denton and beyond and high on the Burley Moor, the Twelve Apostles is a historical landmark set in a spectacular location and it is said to date back to the Bronze Age. Ilkley moor is famous for the Cow and Calf rock formations and the spa pool at White Wells which is popular throughout the year, both offer breath taking views.

Surrounding Areas

The surrounding areas are crammed full of beautiful locations for days out including the spa town of Ilkley, where you will find boutique shops, restaurants, cafés, supermarkets and of course the famous Betty’s tea rooms. The town also enjoys its own cinema, King’s Hall theatre, swimming pool including lido, golf club and tennis and squash club. Ilkley is also host to the longest running Literature Festival in the north.

Otley offers a variety of shopping experiences from local farmers markets to supermarkets and buzzing independent shops. Wander around the quaint cobbled streets and lanes where you will find historic pubs and eateries or take a stroll by the riverside in Wharfe Meadows Park, where there is a children’s playground and a café. High on the hillside is The Chevin, often known as Otley Chevin, where you can enjoy walks, trails and on a clear day, long distance views.
